SUMMARY:PFI: Oats and Drones
DESCRIPTION:Joe Rowe returned to farming in 2008 after growing up on a row crop farm but stepping away for a decade of schooling and other pursuits. Since then\, he has farmed with a dedication to being curious and continually improving. He started strip-tilling and cover cropping in 2015 and has since adapted his fertilizer program to include variable-rate and drone applications\, biologicals in the furrow and Y-drop application to balance nitrogen needs. \n  \nAs an investor in Green Acres Milling\, Joe has added oats into his rotation with corn and soybeans. An active participant in PFI’s Cooperators’ Program\, he is trialing two clover mixes interseeded with his oats. Joe is excited to show how he uses a drone for topdressing\, fungicide and herbicide applications and share how extended rotation is building resiliency on his farm.

SUMMARY:PFI: Starting a Cover Crop Business\, Flying Drones and Seeding Covers
DESCRIPTION:Mark and Brenda Kingland farm on 1\,700 acres in Winnebago County\, Iowa. Eight years ago\, they began strip-tilling to change efficiency in their fertilizer program and improve soil health. In 2022\, Mark added a drone on his farm to apply cover crops and do precision spraying. His goal is to have a cover crop mix flown on by early September into standing corn and soybeans. \n  \nMark’s son-in-law\, Stuart McCulloh\, and daughter\, Sara McCulloh\, have found their roles on the farm since moving back to the area in 2024. Stuart completed the Cover Crop Business Accelerator program through PFI last year and has found opportunities to use the drone to add diversity to the farm’s income. At this field day\, you’ll see drone demonstrations for different applications and gain insight to the systems approach of the operation.
